[ar:Matt Duke]
[al:Kingdom Underground]
[00:10.68] So under this tree
[00:13.28] Far away from church and state it's just you and me
[00:18.32] There's no need to watch our backs
[00:21.12] We'll just simply be
[00:23.73] Kiss me, Honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
[00:28.50]
[00:31.67] Words like a knife
[00:34.18] Cut my father's throat and he is seething in spite
[00:39.41] Threatenin' my poor mother so she kneels every night
[00:44.00] To a prized God divided in the fight
[00:47.93]
[00:52.43] O' sweet thing, bombs away!
[00:59.35] And I'll say
[01:02.36] To you I leave a pox upon this awful place
[01:07.65] And for you I bleed
[01:12.39]
[01:13.15] So string up my girl
[01:15.72] Deviant and faithless and a bane to your world
[01:21.00] Malintent with ignorance it's all so absurd
[01:26.13] Worthless and you're worth it all the same (the same...)
[01:31.57]
[01:34.14] I starve in my cell
[01:36.74] Man is bound in shackles between heaven and hell
[01:41.90] Whether it's worth dying for is too soon to tell
[01:47.07] Bloody mouthed and screaming out a name (a name, a name...)
[01:53.16]
[01:55.12] O' sweet thing, bombs away!
[02:01.94] And I'll say
[02:05.12] To you I leave a pox upon this awful place
[02:10.35] And for you I bleed, but every drop was such a waste and
[02:15.80]
[02:16.10] O' sweet thing, bombs away!
[02:22.83] And I'll say
[02:26.05] To you I leave a pox upon this awful place
[02:31.26] And for you I bleed
[02:35.91]
[02:36.67] There was nothing left
[02:37.78] when you bred contempt in a shit town
[02:40.00] turning your acts into killers
[02:42.16] So far gone
[02:46.72] Oh Holy Father, I bit my tongue
[02:49.63] But Your good word's turning your saints into sinners
[02:52.53] So far gone, oh
[02:56.86]
[02:57.71] So under this tree
[03:00.37] We grew roots and branches kept a hope that our leaves
[03:05.44] They will turn through seasons and then fall to the feet
[03:10.21] Of the children that came after us in Spring (in Spring...)
[03:17.76]
[03:18.51] O' sweet thing, bombs away!
[03:25.45] And I'll say
[03:28.47] To you I leave a pox upon this awful place
[03:33.76] And for you I bleed, but every drop was such a waste and
[03:38.99]
[03:39.60] O' sweet thing, bombs away!
[03:46.40] And I'll say
[03:49.62] To you I leave a pox upon this awful place
[03:54.66] And for you I bleed
[03:59.73]
[04:00.32] So under this tree
[04:03.04] Far away from church and state it's just you and me
[04:07.93] There's no need to watch our backs
[04:10.75] We'll just simply be
[04:13.32] Kiss me, Honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
